Leaving for London..

It's been almost a week since we came back from our trip to UK. We had a nice time, although we have been struggling with jet lag ever since we got home! :p

Anyway, this is the first of our series of posts on the trip. It all began with a rather frustrating wait to check-in for our MAS direct flight to London.. I think it's odd how they have a common check-in queue for ALL international flights. Plus, there were only 3 or 4 counters open, which meant the queue rapidly extended all the way to the entrance of the terminal building! And this was at 7:30 a.m.! It was quite ridiculous really. Almost everyone was complaining; at least we allowed more than 2 hours prior to our time of departure.... imagine how nervous those with earlier flights must have felt! Gosh.

Other than that, everything went quite alright. The captain on our flight was quite the clown; he said the funniest things to get us to pay attention to his announcements :)

After a loooooooong flight, we finally got to Heathrow and were then faced with another long queue to clear immigration. Poor Y&A; they must have waited at least an hour for us! We then took a lovely drive back to central London; it was really nice to drive through the city and catch a glimpse of those familiar sights!
